5a849b66e8 Major overhaul:
- changed FGSubsystem::update(int) to
  FGSubsystem::update(delta_time_sec); the argument is now delta time
  in seconds rather than milliseconds

- added FGSubsystem::suspend(), FGSubsystem::suspend(bool),
  FGSubsystem::resume(), and FGSubsystem::is_suspended(), all with
  default implementations; is_suspended takes account of the master
  freeze as well as the subsystem's individual suspended state

- the FDMs now use the delta time argument the same as the rest of
  FlightGear; formerly, main.cxx made a special case and passed a
  multiloop argument

- FDMs now calculate multiloop internally instead of relying on
  main.cxx

There are probably some problems -- I've done basic testing with the
major FDMs and subsystems, but we'll probably need a few weeks to
sniff out bugs.

ce69eb8e79 Added an interface for an environment controller, together with a
default implementation that uses user-supplied params.  Currently, the
only parameters are

  /environment/params/base-wind-speed-kt
  /environment/params/gust-wind-speed-kt

but others will show up soon (i.e. sheer, variable direction, variable
visibility, etc.).  To activate these properties, you have to
configure --with-new-environment.

The gusting function is simplistic and needs to be replaced with
something better, though it doesn't feel too far off.

d2344cbabb Removed dependency on viewmgr.hxx from globals.hxx, so that changes to
the viewer code do not require most of FlightGear to be rebuilt.
Added some now-required includes to environment.cxx.

2e4f836a98 General cleanups to cut cross-dependencies and speed up compilation.
Added two new properties:

  /environment/temperature-sea-level-degc
  /environment/pressure-sea-level-inhg

These are now supported in FGEnvironment as well, though they always
have the same value for now.  They need to be hooked up to the FDMs.

eaf9fa7621 Added FGEnvironmentMgr to provide information on the environment in
different locations, and hitched it into FGGlobals.  FGEnvironmentMgr
has taken over as the subsystem, while FGEnvironment is simple the
information that it returns.  I've removed current_environment
completely -- everything now uses properties or goes through
FGGlobals.  FGGlobals itself has a couple of useful methods:

  const FGEnvironment * get_environment ();
  const FGEnvironment * get_environment (double lat, double lon, double alt);

The first one returns the environment data for the plane's current
position, while the second returns the environment data for any
arbitrary location.  Currently, they both return the same information,
but that will change soon.

ac20cb7768 Initial take of new environment subsystem. Configure with
--use-new-environment to active it.
